Description

Keyboard device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a keyboard device, and more particularly, to a keyboard device having a sliding member, which can be disposed on an electronic computer and can move relative to the electronic computer.
Background
A general notebook computer is generally mounted with a keyboard module. The keyboard module is connected with a circuit inside the notebook computer through a flat cable. The keyboard module installed in this way is fixed in position on the notebook computer and cannot move. Therefore, the user cannot adjust the position of the keyboard module to meet the personal use habit.
In addition, a typical notebook computer is generally composed of two tablets that can be overlaid on each other. One of the panels is used for setting a screen, and the other panel is provided with a keyboard module, a mainboard and other related circuit elements.
In recent years, in order to expand the application of a notebook computer, a dual-screen notebook computer has been proposed. A dual screen notebook computer is also comprised of two flat panels that are folded over each other. The difference from the traditional notebook computer is that the flat panel area originally provided with the physical keyboard module is also provided with a display screen. The new screen can be used to display different content from another screen or to enlarge the area of the image display.
Because the keyboard area of the dual-screen notebook computer is installed with the display screen, the input method used by the existing dual-screen notebook computer usually displays a virtual keyboard image in the screen area, and inputs characters and other instructions in a touch manner. However, the use of the touch-control virtual keyboard is not in accordance with the usage habit of most notebook computer users, especially in the case of inputting a large amount of characters. In light of the foregoing, there is a need for a new keyboard module to improve convenience of use.
